Days after a suspected sexual assault survivor tossed her newborn infant onto a street in Kochi, killing the infant, another woman was found to have given birth in the bathroom of a city hostel, the police said on Sunday, 5 May.
The 22-year-old woman from Kollam, who works in a company in Kochi, delivered the child inside the bathroom of a private hostel on Sunday morning. The matter came to light after her hostel mates forced the door open as she was locked inside for a long time, the police said.
“The hostel authorities informed us. We immediately shifted her and the child to a nearby hospital. Both are safe now,” they added.
Police said that her family had been informed and a close friend of hers had reached the hospital.
The hostel mates were unaware of the pregnancy.
In a similar incident that had shocked Kochi on 3 May, a 23-year-old woman who had concealed her pregnancy, delivered a baby in the early hours of Friday, 3 May, in her apartment bathroom, and allegedly threw the newborn on the street in front of her flat complex located in a posh residential area.
The baby was found dead by conservancy workers, and police arrested the mother.
